jesus mark..youre usually a master of cracks..these (particularly the foreground ones look like reflections of an overhead tree rather cracks...course...could be someone crafty using the Marco ratio....anyway..fun image...lovely composition

Another very good idea. The comical bird says it all. This doesn't quite come off as broken ice because the cracks are pure black when the ice itself is quite reflective; therefore the water underneath should also reflect back up

couldn't agreee more, the cracks are a tad poo, but it was a double idea, and entered way before the comp became a prize comp as a bit of fun, so glad so many like it really, and Andy you are the only one the nearly hit my double idea on the head, well in

I love the colors and your bird but if the light is coming at his breast his shadow should be behind him or am I all wrong on where your light is... I like the chop

After some serious looking at this bird shadow I realize it is his reflection... nicely done
